Actually, that's a pretty bad config:

Mobo does not support 4x16 PCIe lanes (that's why they didn't want you to add 4 GPU cards).

Mobo is limited to 64GB RAM.

$520 for two 256GB 840 Pro SSDs? Seriously?

Here's a better mobo: https://www.amazon.com/Motherboards-X99-E-WS-USB-3-1/dp/B00X...

Also, you can literally double the RAM for the same money: http://www.ebay.com/itm/128gb-DDR4-8-Crucial-16gb-DDR4-2400m... (keep in mind that speed of RAM is irrelevant for DL tasks).
